Stop just adhering to and ignoring brands and use WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.

If an iPhone, a Dell, and a PS3 works for you, or a Symbian, iMac, and Wii, or whatever combination, then do it.

Stop going on on a holy war like the other guy is the spawn of Satan unless you're on commission.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/Mar 3rd 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/

If I wanted to use Apples crap, I'd get on my fiance's Mac.

I tried QT ONCE, and it took over my whole system it seemed. I did a fresh install of XP just to get rid of it all (uninstall does not get rid of it all!)]]>Mar 3rd 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/Mar 3rd 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/02/12-year-old-magneto-man-breaks-every-computer-he-touches/
